Recommended: Roles and functions of theatre and drama

Theatre has been a gigantic part of my extracurricular life. Over the past ten years, I have been in over 15 productions with Western Alamance High Theatre and local community theaters, such as Alamance Children's Theatre, or Studio One, both located in Burlington, North Carolina. Not only have I worked in the acting side of theatre, but I have also stage managed and done tech work for over seven shows. Whether it is making costumes, building sets, or creating light and sound cues, I am always diligent and effective with whatever task I am faced with. My hope is to continue theatre after I graduate high school. Examples of shows I have been in are Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat, Annie, Comedy of Errors, Sherlock Holmes, and Thoroughly

  • College Essay About Musical Theatre

    606 Words  | 2 Pages

    People have dreams of what they want to do or accomplish in life, but usually musical theatre is just pushed into the non-realistic void. It isn’t a dream for me. In the past four years, musical theatre has been clarified as my reality. Musical theatre has been the only thing I have seen myself wanting to do. My first love was The Phantom of the Opera, seeing how I watched it almost every day and it was one of the first shows I saw. Of course, I started doing all of those cute shows in middle school and making a huge deal about it to my family and friends, but I have never felt so passionate about something. The minute I get up on that stage I throw away Riley for two and a half hours and it’s the most amazing feeling! Being able to tell a story

  • A Career: Performing Arts, Musical Theatre

    1463 Words  | 3 Pages

    The career that I chose was Performing Arts, more specifically, Musical Theatre. I would perform as a singer, dancer as well as an actress, gaining the title of a performer. My career in a small view is performing different plays and musicals for people and making everyone happy. I chose this career, because I love performing and I’ve always done some form of it through elementary school until now. I had always enjoyed singing and playing music, but when I performed in front of the student body in Play Production II, everything changed. I had learned that I loved acting and singing the same amount. I decided, if I could do one thing, I would perform in some sort of musical. It is important to understand

  • Benefits of Attending Boarding School for the Arts

    1986 Words  | 4 Pages

    The most important reason I want to go to boarding school is for the arts. Don’t get me wrong; I love my school. It is an arts magnet school, of course, and does have a partial emphasis on them, but I want to go somewhere where the whole school is focused on what I love to do most: perform. At GCHS, 70% of the students I’ve met only care about sports. It’s difficult to feel passionate about something you love when everyone just shoots it down for ‘important’ things. Of course, the administration aren’t like that, but the students are, and it’s a bit disconcerting. It’s not that I can’t get past that: of course I can. But I love theatre. It’s pretty much my life, and at the boarding school I wish to go to the most—Walnut Hill School for the Arts—it’s the life of ¼ of the students there. (The ones who don’t focus on music, visual art, or dance.) The school has, well, school, but it’s all about making you a better performer, actor, and singer. According to their website, theatre-centered students take 3 hours of acting, 3 hours of musical theatre, 2.5 hours of ‘movement for the actors’ (Also known as dance involved in musicals.), and 3 hours of production & design—a week.1 Walnut Hill’s expansive list of teachers are experts at musicals, plays, and shaping great actors, and most of their students are there because they love their craft, not because their parents—or the law—is forcing them to be, so it would probably be easier for me to focus on honing my talent rather than worrying about whether or not the other...

    I started this hobby in 6th grade as an effort to put myself out there. Overall, I have participated in only three official plays. Sadly, this year, I suffered from a busy schedule and had to refrain from participating in this year’s school play. This hobby is important to me because it exposed me to many great works of theater and literature. More importantly, this gave me a voice, which helps me with public speaking majorly. Being yelled at to be louder for a month has clearly made an impression on me. I am often commended by my peers and teachers for not only providing life and character to my speeches, but I also show the ability to project my voice. Drama has given me the opportunity to give great speeches and at the same time, takes away my stage fright and

  • Analysis Of Chinese Theater

    I’ve learned to appreciate the beauty of how theater is more than a mere performance, but rather an artform with nuance and depth. My knowledge on theatrical styles has expanded and some of my favorites we have studied in class are Brechtian and Chinese theatre styles. I grew up participating in musical theatre, but never had the opportunity to truly learn the history and details of the craft. After studying RENT, I am inspired by the various possibilities for theater beyond acting, singing, and dancing. Theater can be used for activism or as a form of commemoration. Theater is relevant by communicating issues to the world. Theater is so much more than a dramatic presentation. The theater that I have come to appreciate the most are the performances that relay a greater purposeful message about society amidst the theatricals on

  • Importance Of Becoming A Film Director

    989 Words  | 2 Pages

    During orientation for my freshman year at BRMHS, I signed up for piano classes. When I was given my schedule, Piano I was not listed. Instead, I had been enrolled in a media arts course due to the piano classes filling up too quickly. I thought I would hate the class because of my lack of interest in film, television, and broadcast journalism. After my first few weeks in the class, I was hooked. Now, I have been taking media arts courses for over three years. Because of my experience in film and television production, my love for art and creativity, and the joy obtained from entertaining other people, I want to be a film director. While majoring in theater at LSU with a film and television concentration, I will gain valuable skills necessary to create major shows and films, and I will learn to write interesting material in order to entertain others.

  • Personal Narrative Essay: My Journey To Theatre

    871 Words  | 2 Pages

    My journey into theatre was like Alice’s falling down the rabbit hole, slowly but sudden. It started with my attraction to visual storytelling; when reading, words peeled off the page and became images, transforming words into reality. This is not unlike a designer’s job in theatre -- turning plays into tangible worlds, even when they take place in a distant galaxy or down a rabbit hole. Upon visiting New York University’s design department, I paid close attention to the students’ work, I was impressed by the extreme attention to even the most minute details. Not only the work itself, but the resources, the ability to collaborate and learn from working professionals in the design field. It was a dream.

    Becoming interested in theatre design was almost instantaneous for me. I am fascinated with how an entire world can be conveyed through the sets I design and want to share my visions with the world. I enjoy the entire process of design, from the research to the actual creation of the sets. I get to immerse myself into the story and the world surrounding it, something I also do when I read books, which is another reason I became interested in theatre design. When I read, I imagine the setting the characters are in and I realized upon becoming a scenic artist that I can share my ideas with others.

  • Importance Of Theatre

    1376 Words  | 3 Pages

    For thousands of years, people have been arguing that theatre is a dying art form. Many people think theatre is all just cheesy singing and dancing or just boring old Shakespeare, but there is much more to theatre than those two extremes. Theatre is important to our society because it teaches us more about real life than recorded media. Theatre has been around for thousands of years and began as a religious ceremony that evolved into an art form that teaches about the true essence of life. Theatre can incorporate profound, and provocative, observations of the human condition that can transcend time; lessons found in Greek plays can still be relevant to the modern world. People argue that the very essence of theatre is being snuffed out by modern
